Casting Little Shad Upon the
Waters,

viii they return 1t seems like strong test
of faith in instinct to liberate little fishes by the
million upon the river, knowing they will take
to the sea. But those who have studied the
question say that attachment to the home OF
its childhood is so strong i'll the shad that it is
sure to come back to the river Of its early days
If not de stroyed by other fish.
The Commissioners have put 100000 young
shad in the Kennebec at August. The young
shad for the kennebec were Matched in Wash
ington, the spawn being taken from Potomac
fish. The minnows will at once move towards
the sea, and those which are not devoured by
other fish will, perhaps, return at some future
time. The car arrived on the morning Pull
man and departed at 9.30 A. NJ, many citizens
visiting it meanwhile. The car shackled
to the tender, that fresh water could be
drawn from the locomotive tank to replenish
the supply for the hatchery, for unless it is
frequntly renewed the eggs and young fish will
die. The car went to Bangor, where the prod
uct Of some 2000000 eggs Matching on the
route, were liberated in the Penobscot

Tea-Party Of the olden Time.


The Goodwives' busy gossip,
Der cups of black Bohea,
Or this the modern chatter,
Above our modern tea,
But little do they differ,
The Nowadays, and Then,
Unchanged is, yet, the spirit
That moves our wives and men.
All, yes, YOU all remember
About King Georges tea
That stepped in Boston harbor,
Boiled clear across the sea,
And YOU have read the story
BY gossips handed down,
OF the way the Boston Mohawks
Made tea, for Boston Town.
One mansion of the city,
That all eventful night,
Showed, at its loyal windows,
A wicked, Tory light;
For, oh, an English maiden
Had sailed from English lands,
To lay her life and duty,
In one brave patriot hands.
But England's scenes pursued her,
And England's voices called,
While, in the strange new dwelling,
The sea her true heart walled.
And, oh, her spirits pinions,
Though firmly fettered down,
Yet futtcrcd with the longing
To flee from Boston Town.
And, from her high-heeed slipper
Up to her powdered hair,
For Liberty or Loyalty
So hflt did she care
II she could have her comforts,
The Patriots, what of them,-
Save hers from modest kerchief,
So proud, to silken hem.
But he, the stalwart husband
OF such willful wife,
Turned gladly towards the beacon,
The lode.stone of his life,
AS homcward came the plotters,
And left the tea to steep,
Upon their righteous pillows,
To sleep their righteous sleep.
Rehcarsing all his story
In that sweet listening ear,
His heart was filled with triumph
For glories drawing near,
Then, seeking peaceful slunber,
lie left, beside the fire,
A saucy little woman
To follow her DIES ire.
A saucy little dimplc
Upon her rosy chin,
She drew his high boots towards her,
And, slyly peeping in,
She laughed, laugh so glceiul
The FIRE danced with glec,
As in her snowy apron
She shook and shook the tea.
"I'il have gay tea -party"
The little woman cried,
"Bchind the secret panel,
MY treasure will hide
Then by her sleeping husband
She laid her lsughing self
anu Ai'IiiN'Af ANrst'HiilA NlAfliAiAlEH
The wicked, Tory elf
One day, all spurrcd and booted,
The husband rode away
On urgent business hastcnng,
A carly dawn of day,
And as he refined his charger
Of restless head and hoof,
L., - e.
"No tea beneath my roof"
She stood within the doorway
So wiltul and SO sweet,
Her dainty gown of dimity
Coqucttish, prim, and neat,
She shaded with her fingers
The roguish, tell-tale,eyes;
"Above the roof may" she thinks,
"Good-bye, sweetheart" she cries.
The horses passing hoof-beats,
Die, in the distance, dim,
She stands a moment, thoughtful,
Still gazing after him.
Was ever patriot holder,
Or truer, than her OWN
Indeed she would not change him,
For king or kingly throne.
And yet,-she laughs little,
So silently and low,
And calls her servant maiden,
On errands, swift, to co.
A quaint, sweet servant. maiden
Who came across the sea,
That, near her little mistress,
She, all her life, might be.
Oh, busy feet and fingers,
They found enough to do
The Somerset reporter., 1887-06-01

With baking and with brewing,
That sunny morning through,
Till, on his westward Journey.
Down from his noon day height,
The sun sants ore the house.tops,
And sees a curious sight.
Upon the roofs broad surface
A table set with care,
And six fair busting matrons
About it gathered there.
The golden, western sunhcams.
Made bright the comedy danes,
The china rare and silver
We're gilded by their flames.
The tables glossy linen
So fine and fair, and white,
BY the hostess hand was woven
With touches skilled and light
The silver bright, her mother,
From her dear mother, had
The quaint old cups, her grandsuc
Remembered as a lad.
The plates as blue as heaven
The willow pattern bore,
That told the queer, old story,
So often told before;
There were the blue pagodas,
The weeping willow tree,
The lovers changed to four winged birds
And their pursuers, three.
Above her cup, the hostess
Looks, for a silent space,
Across the rows of dwellings,
With grave and thoughtful lace
She sees before her. plainly,
The old South'S distant spire
Tipped with the golden glory,
A finger as of fire
What il that warning finger
Had pointed down the years,
From Lexingtons brave story,
And Bunker HIPS bold cheers,
Down, through the years OF trouble,
OF sorrow and of strife,
Until from out the conflict
A Nation came To lie.
What if she saw the city
Grow larger, towards the sea,
That where the waves were rolling,
The hum Of life should he,
If She had known that chureh.sprc
Should well-nigh fail and fall,
When fiery waves swept over
Full many a lofty wall.
If she had known its finger
Should point towards Heaven, SO,
After the winds wild fury
Had laid the old Elm low;
That Massachusetts, even,
Should lose her banners sign,
That one younger daughter
Should claim the branch of pine.
That in the years approaching,
For fairer gathering,
Of flrer maids and matrons,
Her story, should sing,
Would she have cared?-I fancy
If she the years could see
She'd only stir, to pour herself
Another cup of tea.
No vision comes. but only
The idle gossip runs
Around the cosy table,
Whose beauty is the suns,
Till in the street below them
A hoolbeat warming brings
Upon her feet in terror,
The merry mistress springs.
She seized the guilty teapot,
And in the ample tall
OF her brocadcd, slken gown,
She hides ii, tea and all,
